We cast away our worries of losing grip 
 We swim ashore and escape the sinking ship 
 The only place that I feel at home 
 Is beside this fire that longs to grow 
 And now I see this means more to me 
 Than a runaway dream could ever be 
    So take time, take time, get a hold of it 
 We build this house as we see fit 
 Memories hold us back from everything we could be 
 These memories hold me down 
 From all that I'm trying to be   
 I always knew there was something more 
 Outside this windows stepping out the door 
 With little money in his dirty jeans 
 He sets out to change his scenery 
 And though he knows he is far from home 
 He feels more alive than he's ever known 
 Sure, he's always had a little hope of 
 All that we have left to show.   
 So take time, take time, get a hold of it 
 We build this house as we see fit 
 And hold tight, hold tight to the side of it 
 We build this house as we see fit 
 Memories hold us back from everything we could be 
 These memories hold me down 
 From all that I'm trying to be 
 Memories hold us back from everything we could be 
 These memories hold me down 
 From all that I'm trying to be   
 We're holding out for something 
 Something I'm certain, let's break 
 This type of thinking, let's make 
 Let's make this count for something 
 Let's make this count for something   
 Memories hold us back from everything we could be 
 These memories hold me down 
 From all that I'm trying to be 
 Memories hold us back from everything we could be 
 These memories hold me down 
 From all I'm trying to 
 You're holding out for something 
 Something I'm certain, let's break 
 This type of thinking, let's make 
 Let's make this count for something
